There aren't many 1300s out there that I see and when I do see one tricked out or not I get excited, this is a great bike! I welcome advice on ways to do things, I am new to the customizing world and ... more

this is all based on what I "feel", I'm learning all the time what I can and can't do by picking the brains of folks that have that special "know-how", to those that flowed the info many, many thanks. Just call me Mr. Bolt On! Lowered the rear 2", added chrome oil filler cap, frame inserts, top and bottom belt guards and modified the license plate bracket with a hacksaw, yeah I cut it in two!, put the taillights back on like normal and just flipped the plate holder upside down and wala! even curved it a bit to conform to the fender. Added Hard Krome pipes and they have a great sound, I also installed the fi2000 programmer, took all of 20 minutes.! Started out with Kuryakn ISO grips and recently changed to XOPRODOX Tribals and the passenger pegs too. Eventually going to new forward controls to match the grips. The rims came from RC Components as well as the rotors and belt pulley. I went to a 180 in the rear with no fender modification needed at all. To go to a 200 I'll have to grind down the supports. Britt Motorsports in Wilmington NC chromed out the forks and triple trees, stowed the electrical inside the Star Bars and machined off the right side brake mounts. They also chromed out the air filter adapter too. BMS Choppers provided the D&M spike air filter. It's hard to believe that I already have 25,200 miles on this bike since I rolled it out of the showroom in June of 07'.
